My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 6: Such Audacity
Previously on My Demon Husband Is a Snake...
"Who... are you? Where am I?" I tightly clenched my teeth, attempting to push myself up from the mat.
The Old Taoist Nun, bearing a Money Sword on her back, spoke with a grim tone, "Subdue her! This woman is demonically possessed; we absolutely cannot allow her to escape and unleash chaos upon the world!"
An immense pressure bore down on my body, forcefully shoving me back onto the mat.
I found myself utterly incapable of moving even a single inch.
Lifting my gaze, I saw my mother and my uncle, both holding down my limbs with all their might.
My mother's eyes were red and swollen, fixed on me with an expression of deep pain. "Su Wan, endure it, it will be over soon. Your uncle has invited the Immortal Maiden from White Cloud Temple to assist you."
With a pained look, I turned to my mother. "Are they here to help me… with an abortion?"
I hadn't anticipated that the method of abortion arranged by my uncle would be like this, so unlike the surgical procedures performed in hospitals.
However, considering the demonic fetus I was carrying, an unconventional approach seemed somewhat logical.
"Sister-in-law, you shouldn't speak with Su Wan. She is possessed; you might contract it," my Second Aunt cautioned my mother from the side.
Heeding her Second Aunt's words, my mother's lips thinned, and she ceased speaking to me entirely.
Su Xiaomin, my cousin, observed me with an unusual expression, a glint in his eyes.
He then whispered to Second Aunt, "Did a snake really… mess with Su Wan?"
"If the snake hadn't coiled around her, leading to her pregnancy, why else would your father journey to White Cloud Temple to request assistance?"
"Tsk, I'll have to inquire later about what it felt like to be 'messed with' by a snake – whether it was pleasurable or not."
"You impudent child…"
Amidst the contemptuous remarks from Su Xiaomin and Second Aunt,
the Old Taoist Nun and her three disciples drew their Money Swords, beginning to brandish them.
As they wielded their swords, the Old Taoist Nun also set alight a piece of Refined Realgar.
The instant the Realgar ignited, its potent scent, as if imbued with life, pierced my nostrils.
Perhaps it was due to the snake fetus I carried.
Upon inhaling it,
my entire lungs felt ablaze, as though consumed by inferno.
The Old Taoist Nun's disciples proceeded to ignite their own Realgar, one after another.
I could barely tolerate the smell of even a single piece of Realgar.
In that moment,
the entire chamber was instantaneously saturated with the aroma of Realgar,
making the air even more oppressive and difficult to breathe.
It felt as though the fumes were poised to engulf me, and my eyes threatened to burst from their sockets.
Yet, I remained completely immobile!
"Ha ha yin and yang, the sun rises in the east, employ Po Qi for Swift Vajra! Subdue the demon and expel the wicked!" the Old Taoist Nun, gripping cinnabar talisman paper, flung the papers in my direction.
They landed upon my abdomen, and an immediate, intense pain erupted, as if my belly were being hammered ceaselessly.
In extreme agony, I clawed at the mat beneath me, my fingernails drawing blood,
"Mom… I can't bear it any longer… It's truly unbearable… I don't want… to go on… Uncle… Second Aunt…"
However, after a prolonged wait, no one came to my aid.
A chilling coldness spread through my body, and the pain in my lower abdomen intensified.
The pain felt as though it was tearing my very being asunder!!
The sensation of life being systematically extracted from my body was unmistakably clear; this was not an abortion.
This was…
Them attempting to end my life!!
"It hurts so much… Mom… please, let me go…"
I thrashed with all my might, yet I could not break free from the powerful grip of my mother and uncle.
Tears streamed down my face, carrying a distinct scent of blood.
"Young Uncle, Su Wan is crying tears of blood! This talisman is too potent. If this continues, Su Wan might truly be in peril," my mother finally observed the extreme torment I was enduring and said to my uncle.
My uncle, gazing at my convulsing and contorted form, uttered with a terrifyingly composed expression, as if acting for my own well-being, "Sister-in-law, potent remedies are necessary for grave ailments. Su Wan is carrying a demon fetus; how can it be expelled without her experiencing immense suffering?"
Convinced by my uncle's reasoning, my mother nodded slightly.
My heart plunged into the depths of despair.
Beneath the searing and tearing sensation within my organs, I actually vomited blood.
"Tsk tsk tsk, daring to extinguish my child, you Su family members certainly possess a bold disposition,"
Suddenly, a languid yet icy voice shattered the oppressive silence, exuding an unparalleled arrogance.
From beyond the hall's entrance, a long leg stepped into view.
